Solid Rock

Solid Rock

Goanna

 

Out here nothin’ changes

Not in a hurry anyway

You can feel the endlessness

With the comin’ of the light ‘o day

You’re talkin’ bout a chosen place

You wanna sell it in a marketplace

Well

Well just a minute now

 

You’re standin’ on

Solid rock

Standin’ on sacred ground

Livin’ on borrowed time

And the winds of change

Are blowin’ down the line

 

Right down the line

 

Well, after getting out of bed at 3:30am, and driving for 1.5 hours, we headed off down the cliff face in the darkness to shoot the sunrise. Half way down, we had our first casualty, when our fearless leader, John, slipped and fell. All we could do was watch as he tumbled in front of us down the cliff face, but luckily managed to grab on and stop himself. A fractured or broken rib here we think. Got to the rockledge and shot an average sunrise, but found some awesome rock formations, that I definitely want to go back and shoot. Back up the cliff face, and unfortunately, found out that on the way back up, one of the ladies in the group had slipped and smashed her face into a rock, resulting in a very bloody face. The first aid kit came out and was well used. So all in all, one of our more challenging days and not one we'd like to have a repeat of. Here's hoping both John and Lee will recover well. Solid Rock was shot over 65 secs using a B&W Big Stopper.
